Linear Disorder - Creed of Deceit Lyrics

Instructed, we are born in this Creed of Deceit
Thrown in the chains of pain, slaves we grow
That's why we cry and kick with our feet
As we have to serve a greed that's infinite

Humanity can you ever get more low
When everything's lost
How can you say that you own anything
How can one say that something was found

Why let yourself to anything bound
Searching for truth, believing in lies
Consumerism cages the sight of your eyes
Why deceive self and not think for a moment
Material passes, and your body you rent
For the ephemeral life you build on lies
When everything's eternal and it's part of whole

How can you say you've lost anything
When nothingness is all you have
Believe not, deceit you live
Cast in this world we learn what is cost

But what we don't, is that this
All is ephemeral
And so thrive means reach your goal
But this belief is just so foul

Purpose, what is it in life
It's just another useless strife
That each one makes up in their mind
Believing in something to find
And for worse, they do not quell
Their wrecked wishes that bring others hell
Neglecting others to become well

And so covered by death's wing
We just face the great returning
Remember the origins from where everything came
Stardust from the brightest flame

You have lived your Creed of Deceit
And have died a life incomplete
